Sand Veil (ability)
Sand Veil is one of the many abilities that are inheritable by Pokémon.
Function
While a sandstorm is occurrent, the accuracy of any moves used against the possessor will be multiplicatively reduced by 80%; the only exceptions are non-missable moves, such as Aura Sphere.
The possessor will be immunized from any damage from the sandstorm that it would have sustained otherwise.
